Pic of the Week
Pic of the Week 15
Never been this timely with the Pic of the Week – this one comes exactly one week after the last Pic. It was taken during a day trip to the little beach town of Balian on Bali’s North Westcoast. It’s a long ride up there and the traffic is crazy. The road is the main … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 14
I figured another Pic of the Week would be a great start for this new chapter of my journey. I just made my way to Bali, the island of gods, in Indonesia. The land of waves is a haven for surfers and surfing was also the main reason why I decided to come here. I … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 13
Now that my computer is running again, I want to continue with another Pic of the Week. This one was taken when Glenda and I returned from our day trip to Paguriran Lagoon. The weather had been rather mediocre the whole day and the lagoon hence couldn’t unfold its true beauty. I actually didn’t picture … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 12
My local friends from Gubat took me on a surfing trip to the island of Catanduanes, part of the Bicol Region in Luzon. Catanduanes features one of the best breaks of the Philippines, the infamous surfspot called “Majestic”. Since it was flat on the mainland, we wanted to hit Majestic and try our luck. Unfortunately … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 11
I post this picture in the light of recent events here in the Philippines. On May 7th 5 mountaineers, among those three from my country Germany, died on Mt. Mayon, the most active volcano of the Philippines. The eruption happened without warning and the mountaineers and their guide were killed by falling rocks due to … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 10
My new Pic of the Week is late as usual. This category is my problem child I have to admit – don’t even worry about the numbers on them anymore. Sorry once again for not administering it regularly. So this time I am posting a pic of myself, I think it is the first one … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 9
I am way behind with the Pic of the Week. Having a great time over here in the Philippines, a stupid injury and the frequent lack of internet have kept me from updating this category. Sorry for that and I hope you can understand. I want to revive the Pic of the Week and keep … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 8
This is the famous Phnom Penh Foreign Correspondents Club where back in the days the war correspondents met to exchange their stories. This colonial gem is a place with lots of history set right by the Mekong riverfront. An attraction during the day, the FCC really starts to show its colonial charm once it gets dark. I … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 6 and 7
I am way behind with the Pic of the Week category again. My apologies for that. I selected two great pictures representing the Pic of the Week 6 and 7. This time no temples, no sunsets and no people. It’s all about the animals. Here you go! This was taken during my lengthy stay on … Continue reading
Pic of the Week 5
This was taken in the evening of my first day in Luang Prabang. The two Belgians Chris and Dolf had split in Nong Khiaw in order to meet up again in Luang Prabang at 6 pm that same day. They had to ride their motorbikes down and I took the local bus. After I got … Continue reading
